We love the golden days of autumn in the Northwest, and look forward to carving pumpkins into smiling jack o’ lanterns. Of course, our canine fashionista, Swirl, is dressed for the task. Breezy afternoons that send colorful leaves to the ground are also perfect for playing frisbee. “Let’s use the blue frizz, not the yellow one, so we can find it in the leaves!” Cooper says.
As the maples in our magical wood are transformed by such glorious color, we’re reminded that our lives–like nature–are constantly transformed and changed. Or, as the Red Queen in Alice Through The Looking Glass said, “The only constant in life IS change!”
This weekend, our nephew Kevin is marrying his long-time girl, Renee. How wonderful! How romantic. They are a fabulous couple. “So, can we jump into the pile of leaves, now?” says Super Coop, only slightly impatient. Okay, first, let’s rake a nice, big pile…
“Hurry up—I’ll race you there!” Swirl says, dashing to play in the golden leaves.
